Man, I repeat:

If art is a machine that generates empathy, AI generated art is a machine that generates apathy. It erodes trust and human connection. The entire point of it is to make solidarity impossible, because it becomes unimaginable.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

The fact that slightly less convenience in air travel broke their resolve is foul.

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

I called my Dem senator telling her not to cave to republican pressure or chuck schumer’s cowardice. I had to leave a message but I hope you call too instead of waiting, if you have any trans or disabled people in your life.

I am amused that Mamdani is seen as a raving communist for suggesting mid-tier FDR type reforms and there's an actual Eugene Debs dude running for Senate in Maine and he's not freaking out anybodyyyy oh yes. Shit. He's white. Sorry, I just got it. Go about your business.

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

Shachtman's (excellent) piece on the ADL reminds me of @naomiaklein.bsky.social's writing in Doppelganger. Zionism has been used to flatten our imagination of a better world. It treats antisemitism as a natural law that can never be overcome, therefore requiring constant, violent repression.
NYMag piece: ... the Trump administration had "prioritized the battle against antisemitism" and noted "we do not believe the recent presidential action on immigration directly will reduce the surge of anti-Jewish hate." In some ways, it was a pertect encapsulation of the ADL's new tack. The group was founded on the idea that Jewish rights and safety were inextricably linked to the rights of others. Once the ADL's primary focus became stopping anti-Zionism, its calculus changed. Its new version of Jewish defense was zero sum and dependent on a conception of a singular Jewish viewpoint. "New plan," Greenblatt said in his address to national leadership last year, repeating a phrase that had recently been taken up by other Jewish organizations: "Put on your own oxygen mask first." From Doppelganger: Wolf's experience of being harshly attacked, threatened, and professionally penalized for questioning Zionist orthodoxy is far from unique. It's part of a much larger story about how a culture that once coursed with debate about these very questions-from our duties to universal rights to the possibilities for multiracial solidarity-had become its mirror opposite. There used to be so many ways to be Jewish and to battle Doppelganger, continued: anti-Semitism; it was a question, one with many possible answers. And then we were told that there was just one answer.
